Be Prepared in all things . . .
It is essential that the women of this Church take hold of their responsibility to be prepared in all things. As leaders of Relief Society, you can help every sister in every home in every ward and every branch become self-reliant. They should be laying up a store of money, food and skills, which will sustain them and their families in perilous times. -- Pres. Julie Beck, Oct 2007 Women’s Broadcast

S'More Granola Bars
Spray a 10" x 15" glass pan with cooking spray. Melt 4 T. butter or margarine in a large bowl in the microwave (about 30 sec.) Add 8 cups (1 lb) marshmallows and microwave in 1 1/2 minute increments, stirring in between. Microwave until marshmallows are melted and mostly translucent. In a large bowl mix:
3 c. rice krispies 1 c. golden raisins
4 c. rolled oats 1/4 c. ground flax seed or wheat germ
1 c. chopped nuts
Pour the translucent marshmallow mixture into the dry ingredients and stir. When it is almost combined add:
1 c. mini chocolate chips
1 c. very tiny dehydrated marshmallow (like those that come in cocoa packets--Cash and Carry)
Stir until everything is well combined. Dump into the prepared 10 x 15" pan. Spray your hands with cooking spray and press the mixture into the pan. Let cool and cut into bars or squares. These can be put in little snack-sized ziploc baggies and stored in the freezer for long life.
Play with this recipe to make it how you like it. Try craisins and white chocolate chips. How about chipped coconut and little chunks or dried pineapple? Look at the fancy granola bars in the stores and adapt this recipe to your gourmet tastes. (recipe from B. Pond)

Hummus – April Folkman
2 Cups canned or 2 cups cooked dried Garbanzo Beans (ChickPeas)
1 Cup Tahini (comes in a bottle or can) made of sesame seed paste
Juice of 2 Lemons and the zest or (3 -10 Tb. lemon juice concentrate, and 1 Tb. dried lemon zest)
3 Garlic cloves minced or 1 Tb. minced garlic in a jar
3/4 cup water, more or less for creamy consistency
about 1/2-3/4 tsp. salt- sea salt preferred
Olive oil for drizzle
Paprika for sprinkle
Can also add jar of Dried Tomato's or jar of Red Bell Peppers to the mix for variation.
Drain the beans, warm on stove with a little water just to steam them a little. You could skip this step, but I like it warm when mixing, it brings out the other flavors better.
Put beans in food processor, put on pulse just to break it up, add Tahini, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt. Let the processor run awhile and slowly add water a little at a time to the desired consistency you prefer. I like mine very whipped and creamy, with few to no lumps of beans. You may need to open and scrape down the sides a few times. Pour out into a dish, drizzle with some olive oil on top, garnish with paprika, chopped parsley, pine nuts, or whatever you like. Serve warm or cold with fresh veggies, pita bread, or chips.
